    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2002) Manjunath, H K; Satyanarayana Reddy, B
    "An attempt has been made on ""Evaluation of Gerbera [Gerbera jamesonii, HOOK.) Ciiltivars Under Protected Cultivation"" for the period from September 2000 to May 2001 in the polyhouse. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with three replications and eleven cultivars as treatments. The gerbera cultivars have shown significant variations for growth, yield and quality. ^ Cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra were superior with respect to growth parameters like plant height, plant spread, sucker, leaf area and leaf production. Cultivars Sangria and Kabana recorded hundred per cent establishment. Cultivars Sangria and Kabana were early to initiate flowers. The stalk length was maximum in cultivars Sangria, Kabana Marisol and Tamra. Stalk girth was also maximum in cultivars Sangria, Kabana and Marist'.. Cultivar Sangria recorded maximum flower diameter, diameter of disc and also with respect to length of ray florets. In general high quality flowers were obtained in cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra. With respect to yield, cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra were superior by producing maximum number of flowers per plant compared to other cultivars. Cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra have emerged as promising cultivars with respect to growth, flowering, flower yield and quality and can be recommended for commercial cultivation."
